This light coloured bullace or wild plum spoon has darker heartwood in the depths of the bowl. The wood is very hard and smooth, it’s got quite a deep bowl ideal for soup. It’s a bit cheaper as it’s an old spoon that turned up recently when I tidied my workshop.

A round bowl sycamore eating spoon or soup spoon with my special red and black milk paint finish, folks at Spoonfest called them lavaspoons and the name has stuck.This is a rare round one – I’ve only made about 4 or 5 of these all told. This one has a flat rim and is good for soup, shallow at the front of the bowl but quite deep in the middle.

This spoon has a pronounced crank and a shallow round bowl with a flat rim. It’s a general purpose eating spoon and not a deep bowl soup spoon like traditional round spoons, although you could eat soup with it of course. Plum is very hard and durable.

Blackthorn eating spoon #17
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This blackthorn spoon has a symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. It’s an exceptionally beautiful piece of blackthorn heartwood with lots of lovely dark red tones in handle as well as the bowl. Note that over time the red will most likely fade to a dark brown but it’ll still be gorgeous. Blackthorn is prunus family like plum and damson and shares the same exceptional colours. It usually grows as a prickly shrub on scrub land and in hedges and it’s rare to get large enough pieces to carve like this entirely from the heartwood. This was from Llangrannog in west Wales where an overgrown lane side was cleared back to allow traffic to pass more easily.

Blackthorn eating spoon #2
Length: 15cm
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 5.6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This pretty little blackthorn spoon has a different shaped handle than I usually make, probably dictated by the knarly piece of balckthorn it was carved from. It’s got a small amount of softer wood in the bowl – that pale line through the dark heartwood – that’s why is a little bit cheaper than other spoons here. In my judgement this wont be a problem and there’s years of good sue to be had from it. Blackthorn is tough stuff.
